STUARDO, Karina; ARANGUIZ, Javier; CARDENAS, Juan Carlos  y  ECHEVERRIA, Maximiliano. Iluminación del Palacio de La Moneda, Santiago. ARQ (Santiago) [online]. 2003, n.53, pp. 42-43. ISSN 0717-6996.  doi: 10.4067/S0717-69962003005300012.

In its fourth version, the Philips "Lighten up your ideas" competition proposed the lightning of the nation’s most important institutional building, La Moneda Palace. The winning project presented here is characterized by solving the complex problem of giving a new image to the government’s house through a simple decision. A light belt all around the building and the stresses on the vertical rhythm generated by the pilasters give to La Moneda a renewed nocturnal image, generating a new relation between citizens and the building.
